2 Speed gear box - Matches speed and torque to the job
Dual function control - Quickly converts from rotation only to hammer w/rotation
Variable speed and reversing switch offers complete control for drilling, driving and removing bits or screws
Editorial Review:
Bosch's two-speed gearbox lets you match speed and torque to the job at hand. A dual-function control lets you switch quickly and easily from rotation to hammer action, and a mounted depth gauge is a nice touch other makers ought to adopt. The auxiliary handle attaches easily and rotates a full 360 degrees to let you work at any angle. The keyed chuck accepts up to ½-inch bits, and at 5 pounds, it's far from the heaviest drill of its caliber. The soft grip and comfortable trigger with lock-on button further relieve hand strain. The case will withstand all kinds of jobsite abuse. You can't beat Bosch.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Good Hammer Drill:
Got more power/amps than DeWalt. Case is flimsy but don't ever use it any ways. Good product for the price, if bought online, more expensive if bought in the home improvement stores.
Bosch can keep the fancy chuck key and give me a better case!:
Pros: It's corded; no more rechargables for me! The drill itself has met my hobby level wood working expectations. Cons: It's corded; cord like all cords gets in the way. Cheap, low quality case. When open, the case is flimsy and the hinges are very thin. The plastic inside the case is sharp and jagged. The layout inside the case in not intuitive and will take a couple of trys to get everything back in. The chuck key has a spring loaded needle at the end that will eject the key should you forget to... more info
Powerful, flexible, well-made drill:
Well, this is a very solid, well-made drill that's smooth and easy to use. Relatively light but very powerful, it drove 10-inch timber spikes easily, especially on the high-torque setting. Haven't needed the hammer capability yet. I was cross-shopping the well-regarded Milwaukee Magnum Hole-shooter for about the same price. The Bosch is rated at 8 amps (vs. 5.5), and of course has the 2-speed drive gearing and the hammer-drill capability, neither of which is available on either the Magnum ($90) or the... more info
Very good drill:
The drill is very nice. Used it with a 3/4 masonary bit and a 1 1/2 spade bit, had plenty of power for it. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is the case. It is cheap plastic and I doubt it will last long.
